Cable TV service is provided for every room in student housing and various academic
spaces throughout the campus. Listed below are the channels provided by the Department
of Telecommunications through Charter Communications. Effective March 13, 2014, all
channels are provided in a ‘QAM’ digital format.

All televisions on campus must contain a QAM digital tuner to receive the channels.
Older analog televisions are no longer compatible with the University’s cable TV system.
Most televisions today are digital/QAM compliant, however less expensive or budget
televisions may not be. To find out if your television has a QAM tuner, check the
specifications in your owner's manual, or visit the manufacturer's website.

If you are choosing one of these brands, please verify that the model has a QAM tuner.
Please be advised that less expensive TVs sometimes come with a lower quality QAM
tuner that may be unable to tune all of the channels. We have found this to be true
on certain models of bargain brands such as Dynex, Insignia, and Sylvania.

NOTE: The actual channel numbers are in 'tiers', ie there are three different channel
50s. The three channels will show up as
50-2, 50-4, 50-6 as an example.
The actual channel number may be different on your tv depending on the brand and
type of tuner that your tv has.
Example: in the Towers Lounge the Science Channel may be 50-4, but on your tv
in your room it may be channel 50-5.
The Science Channel will be 50-?? everywhere on campus. We believe it will be
standard on MOST tv's in the Halls, but cannot know for sure at this time.
